Let’s Talk Ballrooms and Our Unforgettable Grand Lobby
The Grand Central

The Grand Lobby
A true representation of a golden era, our Grand Lobby showcases neo-classical design and exceptional craftsmanship. Our stunning bar was once an operational newsstand, and the coat check was a ticket stand. Remarkably, the lobby still features its original Terrazzo flooring from 1929. This elegant space is ideal for cocktail receptions and wedding ceremonies, with three floor plan layouts available.

We meticulously manage all the details to ensure the venue is curated as you envisioned. Our team prepares the ballroom for guest arrival, lighting candles and placing wine on tables, and verifies the arrival of your wedding cake, desserts, and vendors. We check that all finishing touches—like wedding favors, place cards, and the signing book—are in place. We love greeting and assisting your wedding party at the receiving line. We also ensure your dinner service flows seamlessly with your agenda, accommodating any dietary restrictions. Throughout the evening, we regularly check in with you and your guests to provide any needed assistance, maintaining your timeline and liaising with vendors as the night unfolds.
